Order of Worship
Prelude
Land Acknowledgement
Welcome
We acknowledge we are gathering on land where Miami, Osage, Shawnee, and other Indigenous peoples have lived and labored, fought and loved. We continue to work and pray for justice and conciliation.
Call to Worship
As we gather, virtually and in-person, we collectively take a full and nourishing in-breath.
God, for our bodies, we give thanks.
Together, we exhale, releasing what needs to be released.
God, for our bodies, we give thanks.
As we inhale, we send oxygen to the parts of our body needing it most.
God, for our bodies, we give thanks.
As we exhale, we breathe out vibrance and passion, sharing our energy where it is needed.
God, for our bodies, we give thanks.
May we be present in our precious bodies. May we notice the stories our bodies carry. May we notice the sensations throughout our bodies. May we honor the sacred and holy wisdom of our bodies.
God, for our bodies, we give thanks.
